Increasing number of events on fracking. Events downstate and upstate. Concerns about injection wells for ramming toxic fracking waste deep into the ground, in OH and AK. Do earthquakes result? Mining sand for fracking, causing lung scarring in WI and elsewhere. The horror of the earthquake/tsunami/multiple nuclear plants breaking down in Japan continues. Radiation released into the atmosphere floating across the ocean eastward to the North American continent. Increased radiation levels found in rainwater and surface water in areas of the U.S. but the EPA assures us it's not of concern. Reading that the EPA has raised the level of "safety."
With spring comes plants pushing up out of the ground and the planting of crops. The combined threats of fracking, Fukushima radiation, existing fracking south of the border releasing toxins into the air, trucking frack waste to landfills this side of the border and spreading radioactive frack waste salt on roads in winter now to blow around. How to remain hopeful as Mr. Hope Obama touts the need for un-natural gas to save us all.
